The self appraisal form-filling through MBO is one of the simpler methods of self-rating, having almost no ambiguity in the data sought from the appraised.The MBO system of organizational working is a rather systematic one, wherein all jobs are well defined, and meticulously formulated objectives for them are communicated at all levels. Each job has its primary and secondary objectives, which define the scope of the KPAs for employees. During a self appraisal, one is required to clearly set out all, primary and secondary objectives - and as against each of them, mention level of achievement/accomplishment. This can happen through an essay or narrative detailing, a forced distribution system or through the critical incident method.What is important is that all objectives are taken care of during appraisal, and clear and specific evidence of fulfillment is submitted.

1. JumpinessOften I appear to be doing nothing, when I'm actually mulling over some program flow in my head, or wondering what went wrong with that last SQL query, or how to break down that new proposed functionality into bite-sized pieces. You know the drill.And then someone comes up behind me and quite innocently calls my name or taps me on the shoulder. HOLY SHIT. (It's worse when I'm drinking coffee)Lately some of my younger colleagues have started thinking it's funny to startle me when I'm in thinking mode. Not cool, you little brats.2. Taking things too literallyYou guys have probably heard the joke about the programmer's wife, eggs and milk. Trust me, it's so real it's not even funny. For example, during interviews - Interviewer: Do you know how Paypal's IPN works?Me: Yes.(awkward silence)Interviewer: (patiently) I mean, I'd like you to explain the how Paypal's IPN works.Me: Oh! Right. Here goes...Luckily, interviewer was a fellow techie. And understood that I wasn't trying to be funny, or evasive.3. Expecting things to be literalI tend to get frustrated when I ask what I thought was a reasonably straightforward question with a Y/N answer, and someone gives me a long answer without actually answering my question.Maybe it's the result of writing so many functions and methods. You can define what output the method gives you, if at all. If you want a true or false, you define the return value as a Boolean. If you want a line of text, you make the method return a String.Ah, but human beings aren't wired that way.

You’re falling for the usual lies told to the uninformed.In order to buy a gun commercially, you have to get it from a dealer with a Federal Firearms License. He has certain rules he must enforce in order to keep his license. It doesn’t matter if he has a gun shop, sells from his home, sells on the internet, sells at gun shows or sells from a cave on the moon.He can only sell the kinds of guns sold lawfully in his state and/or the state he may be sending the gun to. If he is selling a gun directly to a buyer in his jurisdiction, he must enforce the laws of that jurisdiction. Those include filling out and filing the proper forms, registration, any relevant state or federal waiting period, proper identification, a background check with state and federal authorities, payment of relevant taxes and any other laws which may apply. If he is sending a gun to another jurisdiction, he can only send it to another FFL dealer in that state and that dealer must enforce the laws applicable in that jurisdiction.The only procedures which differ at gun shows are those made applicable because the sale is made in the venue of the gun show. For instance, if a vendor from Arizona brings guns into California, he can only bring in those which comply with California law and he must arrange for another FFL dealer based in California to keep the gun for the waiting period and ensure that all relevant procedures and laws are complied with.Occasionally, you may see private individuals bringing guns into the gun show to sell to other private individuals. In such a case the officials running the show check people with guns in and out in order to ensure that the law has been complied with. For instance, in California individuals engaging in a gun transfer must do it through an FFL dealer at the show and comply with all laws.It is exactly the same as buying a gun in any gun store except that you do it in a large arena and get to wander around looking at guns and accessories you normally cannot get in any other forum.From time to time you will hear politicians such as Nancy Pelosi demanding to eliminate the “gun show loophole.” The reason they can keep saying this is that they make points with their gullible and misinformed constituents, giving the impression that they are battling the NRA and crazed gun owners to establish yet another “reasonable regulation” for some practice which is already taken care of by federal and state law.Have you noticed that, as much as they castigate the ”gun show loophole” they never actually produce legislation to eliminate it? It shouldn’t be that difficult, but for one thing . . .They are lying to you. There is no “gun show loophole.” As usual, for some reason you believe them.

Banning guns based on how they look versus how they function.Banning guns based on a projectile being 1/1000th inch bigger than others equally capable.Banning guns based on the diameter or markings on their barrel that have no bearing on its ability to function.Making existing gun owners wait 8 days to take possession of a gun as a “cooling off” period.Banning possession of sheet metal or plastic boxes with springs because these, after all, are some of the most dangerous objects on the planet.Banning and not banning aforementioned boxes based on the number of rounds they hold but allowing the exact same box to be sold legally if it possesses the correct markings on the bottom.Having a one-gun-a-month law to prevent gun trafficking or straw purchases but allow anyone a lifetime waiver of that restriction by simply sending a form to the state saying they are a collector. Any reason for collecting is permissible (“In the event of a zombie apocalypse” is an acceptable reason).Where you live determines your ability to own a gun in the same state.Telling victims of home invasion they are to be arrested and treated as criminals because of the property someone else took from them.Being so concerned about privacy rights that you demand any would-be gun owner waive their HIPAA rights for life to make sure they aren’t “dangerous”.Declaring 18 through 20 year olds children and barring them from exercising their right to own a gun. But that’s the only right they are too immature or unable to exercise as a legal adult at those ages.Compiling lists of guns and gun owners in the utterly illogical belief that a couple pieces of paper solves crimes.Banning the publication of computer code or plans for firearms that are freely available in printed form without restriction. Hating two parts of the Bill of Rights is pretty impressive stuff.Demand that we have noise dampening devices on vehicles and hearing protection on around machinery that can damage hearing in an instant as a public safety measure but regulate the same for firearms to the point it takes 9–10 months and Federal and State permission to own. And not all states will allow you to protect your hearing.Requiring a person to be fingerprinted, photographed and provide a background check and at least two days of training at their own expense and submit the application within 3 days for a license to allow them to apply to purchase a handgun. It is not a “permit-to-possess” but merely a permission slip to fill out a form.Declaring that items meant to safely hold a firearm in order to use it are too dangerous to have fitted to a gun.Buttons are verboten.Changing the color or finish on a gun makes it illegal to sell as “unsafe”.Declaring any semi-automatic rifle an “assault rifle” regardless of age, caliber or feed type.Declaring a Marlin or equivalent tube-fed .22LR semi-auto rifle an “assault weapon”.Allowing anyone via hearsay to claim someone is suspicious or may have violent tendencies and have their guns taken away from them without Due Process.I can go on. And on and on. All strange and ones I could have never come up with on my own.Note for the Irony Challenged: Every single item on this list is an actual law or regulation in force today somewhere in the United States.

This pretty well sums up my opinion of David Hogg. He has been coached, coddled and cosseted by Michael Bloomberg and has capitalized on his celebrity as the survivor of a tragedy that was allowed to happen through ineptitude and failures of the Broward County school board, the administration of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the sheer incompetence and cowardice of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and a failure to properly route information by the FBI.Sheriff Scott Israel was removed from office by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in part because of the failure to properly respond to the incident.But David Hogg and his coterie of schoolmates gave a free pass to the sheriff’s office, Deputy Scot Petersen and everybody else in order to focus blame a Smith & Wesson rifle and a small business that had done nothing wrong at all. The business, Sunrise Tactical, was forced to close its doors after the shooting.It is highly ironic that a person supposedly damaged for life because of the actions of a person who passed a background check is such a strong proponent of them. The shooter was able to pass the background check in spite of the fact he had a long history of interactions with law enforcement due to his violent behavior. He had no criminal background, no record because he was never prosecuted for his offenses. That’s because of the policies of the Broward County school district and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.This is not NRA propaganda. These were among the findings of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Commission created by the state of Florida in response to the incident. The commission released its preliminary report in January of this year.On to my opinion of polls and the people that participate in them.Last week, NPR (National Public Radio) and the PBS Newshour conducted a Marist poll of 880 adults. The poll was conducted from February 5th through 11th.The poll showed that 82% of adults believed that background checks would make a difference. Just 15% said they would make no difference. 68% of self-identified gun owners were in favor of background checks but 30% said they would make no difference. The poll also found that 60% of respondents favored a ban on “assault weapons” and 64% favored creation of a national gun registry. 65% also believed a ban on high-capacity magazines would make a difference.The last question in the survey was, “From what you have read or heard, do you think, compared to 25 years ago, the per capita gun murder rate in the U.S. is higher, lower, or about the same?”In an odd coincidence, 82% of those surveyed believed that the gun murder rate had remained the same (23%) and the majority (59%) believing it was higher. Only 12% believed the rate had gone down.The latest data we have is from 2017. the 25-year period that includes both beginning and ending years starts in 1993. According to data complied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the gun murder rate fell by more than 36% from 1993 to 2017.So 82% of respondents had no idea what they were talking about. That’s not surprising; they have been fed a stream of distortions and lies by politicians and media and by celebrities who don’t know what they’re talking about, either.Political party didn’t seem to matter except in the percentage of ill-informed people. Only 8% of Democrats and 9% of Republicans were aware of the truth. I am almost embarrassed to say that gun owners did no better than the average of the respondents.David Hogg’s comment is interesting. I am not afraid of a background check, I have gone through far more of them than he has, especially considering that he can’t even legally purchase a gun since Florida raised the minimum age to 21.But the background check law currently being rammed through the House isn’t about buying a gun. It’s about transferring a firearm, which is a whole different ball of wax.The federal government considers anything that shifts the physical possession of a firearm from one person to another, even temporarily, to be a transfer. If I hand my wife a gun for her to look at, that’s a transfer. When she hands it back, that’s another transfer.The bill currently being marked up does exempt me and my wife handing guns back and forth. I can even give her a gun to keep. I can do the same for my children.I can also let a friend use one of my guns at a shooting range or while hunting. But, if I let him keep the gun after the trip to clean it as a favor to me, that’s a felony, even though he is going to return it the next day.As a sop to the NRA and gun rights advocates, the bill specifically prohibits national gun registration. In the first place, that’s stupid. Establishment of a federal registry of guns or gun owners has been illegal since 1986. So this bill does what? Makes something that’s already illegal “illegaler?” In the second place, it makes the law impossible to enforce.If the government doesn’t know who owns what guns, how is it going to monitor the transfers of those guns? How is it going to make a case for prosecution? Why wouldn’t a police chief or county sheriff figure that they have better uses for their resources than chasing down cases they can’t prove. Are we going to have sting operations to catch Mr. Jones selling his old hunting rifle to his next-door neighbor? What if Mr. Jones and his neighbor said that it was actually sold before the law went into effect?Noted gun control advocate Garen Wintemute did a study of three states that enacted universal background check laws, Colorado, Delaware and Washington state. Only Delaware had a signNow increase in the volume of background check inquiries. The volumes in Colorado and Washington remained essentially flat. The homicide rates in all three states rose in the years after the laws went into effect. Wintemute concluded that the laws were ineffective because people ignored them and, in some cases, county sheriffs weren’t enforcing them.Moreover, results from other states with universal background checks are mixed. Illinois and Maryland, both of which require checks on every sale outside of immediate family, consistently report some of the highest homicide rates in the nation. Washington, D.C. is at the top or near the top every year.The thing is that I am not afraid of a background check: I am concerned about what will happen when they continue to prove to be worthless.

Lately I've been fascinated by projects that marry computer science with user interface design. Here are a couple random examples that come to mind.Quick note - there's a huge gap between research prototypes and consumer products, but I'll try to touch on both.Multitouch Interaction Everywhere (Chris Harrison)Using a shoulder-mounted projector and Kinect, Chris created a way to project and manipulate interfaces on arbitrary surfaces. His demo shows how this people might use this to interact with their "environment (e.g., walls, tables), held objects (e.g., notepads, books), and their own bodies (e.g., hands, lap)."Read more here - Chris Harrison | OmniTouchPreviously he also worked on Skinput which used a special armband to turn the human body itself into a sensing device. 3D Displays with Haptic Feedback (MSR)Using a robot arm and a 3D screen, Microsoft Research created this display that allows viewers to get haptic feedback as they interact with 3D objects. I was particularly impressed by their demos of ways to explore 3D visualizations, as well as "feeling" and manipulating 3D objects.Read more here - Touch to Feel the Virtual WorldGoogle Now (Machine Learning)On to consumer tech. Google has done an amazing job of making sense of my data, and presenting it to me in an actually useful way. Instead of asking me to make queries, they're anticipating information that's useful to me.Here's an instance when I was about to head out to dinner and a movie with Kevin. Keep in mind,1. I often walk by Kevin's house before dinner, and2. I had just been searching for movie recommendations on my laptop.Naturally, Google Now showed me the weather, some movie times, and the next bus I could catch to Kevin's place. Perfect.Fantastical (Natural Language)Instead of asking me to manually fill out form fields, calendaring apps like Fantastical have done an amazing job of interpreting natural language.While other tools have done this for years, what makes Fantastical unique is its real time parsing and feedback, confirming that everything you type is being interpreted correctly.TL;DRSome amazing people have been applying technologies from interesting fields like CV, ML, and NLP to create fundamentally better user interfaces.

Because it looks like something that we know.Our minds are trained to see patterns and we have seen something that looks like that our entire lives.It is kinda like learning a new language, and you start to notice that some words are quite closely related to your language.Like genius in french is genie, and in german I think it is also genie.So you start to notice small things that you have in common and base it off of that.It is kinda like when we see faces in things in which do not have a face.Some people put up pictures of dogs ears and such, and because we are so used to putting importance on faces, we could exactly see the same face.So that is entirely what humans are, pattern recognition machines.

In common law, a foundation is sufficient preliminary evidence of the authenticity and relevance for the admission of material evidence in the form of exhibits or testimony of witnesses. ... The lack of foundation is a valid objection that an adverse party may raise during trial. This legal term article is a stub.

A Deposition is not Cross-Examination at Trial. You should not ask only leading questions at a deposition. In some jurisdictions it may be considered improper as to form to ask leading questions at a deposition. ... Do not hesitate to ask a question that you do not know the answer to at the deposition.

A deposition occurs when lawyers take the sworn testimony of a witness prior to a trial that is held out of court with no judge present. The witness is placed under oath and lawyers for each party may ask questions. The questions and answers are recorded.

OBJECTION! An Attorney objecting to the form of a question is asking the other attorney to clarify a specific point. Common examples of objections as to form include: lack of authentication, compound, asked and answered, ambiguous then object to the form of the question.

Unauthorized documents. You should not bring any notes, diaries, or other records to help you state your case during a deposition unless they have been thoroughly reviewed by your attorney. This is because any document you produce may be examined by the opposing counsel, and can potentially be used against you.
